GRAIN PRICES (Markets by E. F. Lelaxl & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building)

CHICAGO, 111.. June 17 Wheat A factor this morning In which -wheat was lower was on the weather condition, an over sold condition developed lato and on short covering and buying by a house with eastern connections the market had a good advance and closed at practically the high of the day. Commission houses bought September on a moderate scale early and July came out rather freely, tending to advance the difference. Local sentiment was rather mixed. There was no export news. Corn was rather dull with the deferred deliveries stronger than the July. Local traders bought corn early while commission houses-sold and the market on the whole showed a fairly firm undertone, especially late in session. Cash market 1 higher. Crop news generally favorable. Oats Trade was light in oats. The high spots were not held. Crop reports were rather poor. So far the weather reports have had no influence on the market. Cash market steady. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, June 17. Following Is the range of futures on Chicago Boara of Trade today:

100.14 American state department, the Chil10000 lean Peruvian conference on Tacna-

Arica appeared -today to be once more: 1 on the highway to success. After five weeks of controversial . , . . . inconclusive discussion among jthemselves both delegates had shifted i their troubles to the shoulders of Sec- ( retary Hughes and with sighs of relief, were preparing to settle down , and confidently await the result. j So badly worn had become the j patience of both sides it was predicted I everywhere that as soon as the secre-

tary was in a position to present a so- " lution representing a middle ground Although there has been, no tabulabetween the positions of the Chilean tion of enrollments in the Vacation and Peruvian govern m."1,f! tb- ! Bible school to date, many encouragdelegations would accept it without inS reports have been received by the

delay and take passage ir lion.-. Indications were that by the middle of next week and perhaps sooner,, the secretary would have ready an arbitration formula, generally expectpd to provide for arbitration by the United States of the broad question of sovereignty in Tacna-Arica and of fulfillment of the intent of the treaty of Ancon. That the formula would be acceptable seemed to be regarded as almost a foregone conclusion on both sides despite the fact that neither had bound itself to agree to Mr. Hughes' suggestions. It generally was conceded that the difference remaining between the two groups was largely one of phraseology and that under all the circumstances it would be difficult to reject a wording sponsored by an impartial Judge with the standing enjoyed by the United States. Dolan to Attend State School at Lafayette County Agent J. L. Dolan expects to leave Tuesday morning for Lafayette, where he will attend a state-wide conference and three-day school for extension workers.

MUST ADMIT RUSS INTO CIRCLE, SAYS ITALIAN MINISTER (By Associated Press) ROME, June 17 Italy's international prestige unquestionably was Increased as a result of the Genoa conference, declared Foreign Minister Schanzer in the senate yesterday. His speech also emphasized Italy's need for peace in order to increase production and achieve financial reconstruction. Italy's policy with regard to Russia, was defended by the minister, who expressed the conviction that admission of Russia Into the circle of Europe ean life was necessary to the economic reconstruction not only of Russia, but of the whole of the eastern and central Europe. Senator Albertinl who was 'a member of the Italian delegation at the Washington conference, protested against "leaving the vanquished nations and the exl l isted victors in the world war to quiW ei over their common misery and p ?are new tragedies for Europe." He urged the collaboration of all nations in political and economic matters and asked for the co-operation of the rich nations, who had suffered fewer of the terrible consequences of war. It would be impossible to Improve the German debt situation, ho continued, unless arrangements also were made to deal with interallied debts, as the two questions were inseparable. If France and Italy were asked to pay oniy interest on their debts to England ana America, tneir condition would become appalling and after exi hausting themselves utterly, tney bse ... . .... German; to a?k not for a temporary but a permanent moratorium. EXPECT LARGE BIBLE SCHOOL ENROLLMENT leaders in the Richmond City Sunday School association, and Indications point to a larger enrollment than that of last year. Thus far only a few of the schools have turned in a report and those which have not sent In any indication of their probable enrollment were among the most strongly represented at the school last year. The authorities in the work are optimistic and say that the preparations for the school will be continued. It also has been pointed out that the superintendents of the- various Sunday schools should see that their enrollments are completed at the earliest possible moment. It is re quested that progress made in the en rollments be reported to Bradford Harrison at the Y. M. C. A. Wednes day morning. There will be a meet ing of the various Sunday school su perintendents at the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening to discuss the school through by way of Connersville. Mr. Dolan also will drive through. The three-day course will open at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and will specialize in soil fertility and crops. Wrist watches are not a modern Idea. As long ago as the year 1571 Queen Elizabeth received a richly jeweled wrist watch as a present from the Karl of Leicester.

Tne Farm and By William R.

"Speaking of an extra fine stand of red clover and alfalfa," said Frank Taylor of the First National "you should see tne sianaa we in two fields of wneai. iwo uuie west of Richmond on what is Known as the old Toschlog farm. The red clover is showing bloom and the alfalfa-is already standing much higher than the stubble will be when the wheat is cut." Mr. Taylor says that it is his custom to sow clover and alfalfa, insuring inoculation of the soil, and that he finds the results satisfactory. 1 There are a bunch of hogs in clover, much higher than their backs, on this same Taylor place. There are 100 head or so on this 16 acre field of sweet clover, says Mr. Taylor, ana thev are scarcely making a dent on the crop. This field win not De narvested this year, he says, but be left to reeed itself. When it is plowed nndr a whole lot of fertility will be added to the soil, said he. The clo ver not only stands high but mats the ground and would produce a lot of hay, if cut The general reports from farmera indicate that this Is a great season for pasture. Grass is plentiful and many a farmer lacks enough live stock to clean it up. Let us hope that we have seasonable rains to extend the usefulness of these pastures through the summer. Sales of 1922 Corn An Illinois country trader made the first sale of the season of 1922 crop corn, on Thursday. The sale was 50,000 bushels for December shipment, not later than December 15 delivery. The price was 65 cents, on track, Chicago. Farmers who believe that current December option prices at. Chicago will suit them in that month, are like ly to contract with Chicago cash grain houses, or even with speculators on the floor, for December delivery, now. The seller has the option on these sDeculative sales, and can deliver on I ot An tr rf tho mnnth unless a. date for delivery is a part of the contract. This applies to wheat, corn, oats, rye, etc Butter and Egg Prices What are eggs worth? What is country butter worth? These are two questions that farm wives are always asking and which it is not always easy to answer. Prices vary in different parts of the county and depend largely upon what the wholesale buyer who runs his wagons to the farm gates is willing to pay. This man is always a shipper, and In some instances may have cold storage. In his buying he must take market con' tingencies into account, the cost of shipping, and make an allowance for some profit on his investment and labor. Now, then, what were eggs worth on Friday, at farm gates and in country stores in Wayne county? A leading Richmond retailer told us he was paying 20 cents for eggs at noon on Friday. The biggest wholesale buyer told us that forenoon that he was paying 16 cents for eggs, deliv ered at his plant or at farm gates to his wagons. Calling up a Centervllle grocer we were informed that he was paying 18 cents in cash or 20 cents in trade for eggs. So far, so good, but Fountain City grocer reported 10 min utes later that his price on eggs was 15 cents to the seller, either in cash or trade. He then added that he was now paying 30 cents for good country butter. This man was at the low end of the egg market and at the top on country butter. We finally found one merchant in a little hamlet near Richmond who was paying the top on eggs in this section, his price on Friday being 21 cents. This explains the difficulty in quoting the local egg market so as to cover the exact prevailing price. All our city grocers do not always pay the same price to farmers for eggs. on any given day. The same is true of country roll butter. As a rule our grocers pay a little more than ship - pers can afford to pay at farm gates, because the eggs are usually "traded out," besides the cash the farm family usually spends in addition. j The Poland China Picnic ! The youngsters of the Poland China Pig club are all set for a good time on Tuesday, June 20, on the Lewis Kinsey farm, south of Green's Fork. There is a nice piece of woods on the place and good drinking water handy to the site. Basket dinners will be in order and good things to eat will no doubt be in plentiful supply. Just what the program will be cannot be said at this writing, but the main idea is to have a nice outing, get the boys and girls mutually acquainted and for all to have a dandy good time. That is all the program needed on a hot day in June. Some of these days we are to hold a grand picnic, a county picnic, for which the arrangement? committee are now at work. That will be a big day for the farmers, especially if there isn't an overload of orators and oratory; too much of which is a great plenty at any outdoor summer gathering of folks on rest and pleasure bent Monument to a Hog On June 15, Middletown.

The Township Farm Bureau A recent number of Wallace's Farmer, of Des Moines, Iowa; under the caption: "The Township Farm Bureau," prints a suggestive article which we think worth renrintine. Thu editor tells us where and how things start and his story is true to nature, as many of our readers can attest The editorial follows: "This Is where things start: Two smoking lanterns; a dim schoolhouse-r, men in overalls sitting at the cKa--dren's desk; a line of them leaning against the wall in the rear of the room; a secretary at the teacher's desk in front, taking a corncob pipe out of his mouth to read the list of members; a president who knows lit tle about parliamentary law, but a great deal about getting things done. It is not an impressive scene, if you look at exteriors. Yet it may be tho starting point of an idea, of a program that may reach thru the county, and the state to the councils of the nation. Local organizations like the town ship Farm Bureau or like the local3 of other farm organizations show tha real strength behind any farm pro gram. In the county or in the state there is always more or less suspicion of a cut and dried line of action laid out by officers, who may be expressing their own personal desires rather than the wishes of the membership. In the local the irt farmer is the whole show. There are discussed his problems of production, his marketing difficulties; and out of the experience of the members, ways are suggested by which conditions can. be improved." The Paid Officials "In the large units a paid official of some sort calls the meeting, attend to the machinery of organization, and in some places seems in a large measure to dictate the policies which are followed. There if sometimes a doub. as to whether the organization exists for the sake of the officers or the officers for the sake of the organization. "The local unit presents no such problem. The men who meet there meet because there are local jobs that'' they know they can do better together, than seperately. Their work is basedV on essentials, because it is only essential things that can bring out a group of hard-working men after a long day's work to a meeting which holds out.no attraction except the hope of getting a needed job done. "The township Farm Bureau is a perpetual proof that farm organization leaders in state and nation will not go far wrong, if they are able to keep in close touch with the needs and the desires of the farmers in the local units." Mainstay of Farm Bureau "We have our moments of disillusion incompetence of leaders of national and state farm organizations, and feel that much of the labor of farm organizations is bound to end in futility. If we feel this, it simply shows that we have overestimated the importance of a few men who aremost in the public eye. In the long run it Is not the wisdom or the folly of the present set of leaders that will count It is the maintenance of thousands of local groups close to the sod; groups that will continue to work on farm problems and so laboring will eventually produce a program of powder and vision and a set of leaders that can carry it thru."
